1990 Ford F-700
6.6 liter I-6 Ford diesel with Garrett Turbo
Good tires
Decent paint
NO rust
good dump

Been a garbage truck locally for a few years, then sold to a mechanic who used it to haul ulch to his house for a big landscape project, and hauled 200 loads of creek rock to his farm. 24,700# GVW.

They don't make enough power to break anything, I think the NA versions made 110 horse and the later versions with turbos and intercoolers made about 160.

well, actually it drove good considering. and by considering i mean the type of weather i always seem to pick to go look at stuff. the rig had been setting about 3 weeks, and its about 15-20 degrees in the overnights here now, so it had flat spots on the tires lol. but, after a couple of mies that all smoothed out, and she drove good. MUCH better thn the IH's i've drove. the IH's seem to have such a crappy cab and such. but this ole gal seemed to drove good, especially for the money. i guess we'll see what she's made of when we get her on a creek bottom and put 10 ton of rock on her.

thers deals out there if ya look. this was the most for the money around here that was ready to go. i need only a small truck, for sake of DOT, ect. imma farm tag it. i figure any running, dumping, decent truck is only gonna get so cheap, then you have to pick and choose to see which trucks are the most for your $$$$
